Overview

Victoria operates a three tier education model for students.

  1. Primary school education consists of 7 levels - a preparatory or "prep" year followed by years 1 to 6.

  2. Secondary school education consists of years 7 to 12.

  3. Tertiary education offers specialist courses to students at either universities or TAFE (Technical and Further Education) institutions.

A listing of all Victorian primary and secondary schools (both government and non-government) are available from the Department of Education web site.
